“Dream Girl”

“Dream Girl”

I open my eyes, she’s lying beside me

Is this a dream or the memories inside me?

Remember the first encounter as I approached

She says she was on a deserted island and I was her rescue boat

Plenty of guys courted her for her beautiful features

Immediately tried to hit it out of the bleachers

All boring with the same old stories

All clichés, calling her boo, bay and shorty

Shortly thereafter…

A couple of serious thoughts and shared laughter

Similar tastes…

As the conversations grew we could truly relate

No dates…just asked her if she wanted to escape

We ran away from the system

Got lost in her voice as we separate the truth from the fiction

Sophisticated, she’s interested in the universe

Spontaneous wardrobe…looks good in sweats or a skirt

Her natural fragrance rubs off on my vintage shirt

She’s into wellness so I eat my spinach first

Opened my mind up to dine at different venues

She even has me eating off of vegan menus

She’s fresh as Venice beach

Allows me to forget about my enemies

My remedy…

She got me to wean off of the Hennessy

She listens to Beethoven, Nas and Zeppelin

I love her every feature from her feet to her freckles

She turns me on without being sexual

A perpetual bond that combines the physical and intellectual 

Concerned with important topics that range

From starving kids, poverty and climate change

Amazing body, attitude and a finer brain

No pressure as we take it in stride

We disagree, but are never disrupted by ego or pride

We go to bed, watching her sleep is serene

I open my eyes, she’s gone, it was all a dream
